Early Christian Church, according to tradition, was formed by the scepter of the Holy Spirit to the apostles fifty days after the resurrection of Christ. After that, each of the twelve apostles got by throwing the cube, the direction on which the road would begin to preach and spread Christianity. One of the first twelve apostles was Peter the founder of the church in Rome and the first pope, and besides him among the first twelve was also Jovan Bogoslov the writer of one of four official gospels and revelations. In addition to them, for the sake of more efficient organization, there were seventy smaller apostles, among whom Paul was the writer of some of the epistles in the Book of Acts, as well as apostle Mark one of the writers of the Gospel. The leaders of the Church were, of course, the apostles and their duties were baptism, by water and spirit as Christ left them in the inheritance. For the needs of crushing bread and blessing the wine as symbols of the New Testament and Last Supper, the appointed bishops were in charge due to division of jobs and more efficient operation and missionary work. What is similar in the services of early Christianity to today's Church is certainly the rite that Christ established on Last Supper as the realization of the New Testament. Similarly, there is a hierarchy between the priesthood, starting from the bishop to the lower priesthood. What is different is the fact that early Christians gave all their property to Christian communities and renounced everything they have, unlike today's priests, among whom there are extremely wealthy. Church service of early Christians was shorter than today, because during the centuries many parts of liturgies and masses were added. The problems that the early Christians faced until the Edict of Milan was fierce persecution by pagans, torture, their use in the Roman arenas as lion food, etc. Another similarity between early Christianity and today's Christianity is that liturgy, the Mass, the central place of Christian life and belief as the source, purpose and goal of every Christian. This is best illustrated by the words of the Apostle Peter, who in his epistles in the Book of Act says that every Christian participating in the liturgy is waiting patiently for the day of the lord and nothing by the church should be the object of Christian interest, of course, all life activities, such as the founding of family, business, activities, have one sole purpose, life similar in Christ and in the church, liturgy. Also, the Apostle Paul, as the writer of the greatest number of letters, and the most prominent among the Christian speakers of early Christianity, says that Christ is the church, the heavens on earth, the purpose of every existence and effort, and the resurrection is what distinguishes Christians from others. If Christ did not rise in vain the Christian faith, according to Paul, is also a central place of life. These similarities with today's church relate, of course, to sincere Christians.
